solve 5r + 12.5 < 23.1. write the rational number in your answer in decimal form to hundredths place. make sure to write your inequality so that r comes first
To solve the inequality 5r + 12.5 < 23.1, we need to isolate the variable r.
Let's start by subtracting 12.5 from both sides of the inequality:
5r + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5
This simplifies to:
5r < 10.6
Now, to isolate r, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5r)/5 < 10.6/5
Simplifying further:
r < 2.12
The rational number r is less than 2.12. In decimal form to the hundredths place, this is r < 2.12.
nope
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the inequality correctly:
To solve the inequality 5r + 12.5 < 23.1, we need to isolate the variable r.
Let's start by subtracting 12.5 from both sides of the inequality:
5r + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5
This simplifies to:
5r < 10.6
Now, to isolate r, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5r)/5 < 10.6/5
Simplifying further, we have:
r < 2.12
The rational number r is less than 2.12. In decimal form to the hundredths place, this is r < 2.12.
its the same answer as before. solve 5r + 12.5 < 23.1. write the rational number in your answer in decimal form to hundredths place. make sure to write your inequality so that r comes first
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let's solve the inequality correctly and write the answer with r coming first:
To solve 5r + 12.5 < 23.1, we need to isolate the variable r.
Let's start by subtracting 12.5 from both sides of the inequality:
5r + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5
This simplifies to:
5r < 10.6
Now, to isolate r, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
r < 10.6/5
Simplifying the division, we have:
r < 2.12
The rational number r is less than 2.12. In decimal form to the hundredths place, the solution is r < 2.12.
